spring

the calendar says it is spring, the view out my window hints that it is arriving. It has
rained for the past two days, complete with thunder and lightening. (just when I thought perhaps we had those girls sleeping in their beds, in their rooms, the first boom of thunder had both in our room in an instant) The rain has certainly done a lot in decreasing the amount of snow but as you can see in the photos it has also increased the size of the pond in the backyard. Not too excited about that "pond" as it inches closer and closer to my house. (so far the sump pump is working keeping the water outside where it belongs and not in my basement) Last night the rain turned to snow and we awoke to this view out our window...it appears winter is not quite ready to give up just yet, covering the ground in one more layer of white.
